Options Ideas, Bearish and Bullish

Adobe Inc. ADBE – Options Recap:

Despite a major selloff for the markets along with most stocks yesterday, we did see some impressive intraday moves from our selected options targets in the Adobe chain. We highlighted the ADBE Weekly $457.50-465 Calls, and those saw some significant intraday moves from around 10:15 to 11:30AM.

In a recent consensus of more than a dozen analysts, ADBE was given a 90% Buy Rating, so we won’t rule out the possibility of seeing another significant swing, especially if this trading week pulls itself out of the mud by tomorrow. The company also raised its Full Year 2021 guidance, so it’s quite likely that we will be revisiting ADBE once again in the weeks and months ahead.

ADBE was the major point of interest for us in what was a relatively rocky session as a whole, and those ideas afforded us the following intraday gain possibilities:

ADBE Weekly $457.50-465 Calls
$457.50: 2.62-6.50 (+148%)
$460: 1.92-4.65 (+142%)
$462.50: 1.51-4.14 (+174%)
$465: 1.06-3.16 (+198%)

DICK’S Sporting Goods, Inc. DKS – Recap

Our only options idea based off of earnings reports yesterday morning was in the DKS chain. We noted the lackluster response to the company’s Q4 beat on earnings and revs, and went to the bearish side of the fence.

Our specific targets were the DKS Weekly $71-69.50 Puts and those contracts logged considerable gains, with the exception of the $70.50’s whose intraday increase was nominal.

Here are the exact trading ranges and total possible profits on those targeted DKS options plays: 

DKS Weekly $71-69.50 Puts
$71: .90-1.60 (+78%)
$70.50: 1.05-1.25 (+19%)
$70: .40-1.50 (+275%)
$69.50: .61-1.20 (+155%)


Fresh Options Ideas:

We’ve got a decent selection of options plays to watch as we cruise through this midweek. With nothing really piquing our interest from this morning’s earnings calendar, here are a few potential plays based off of attractive chart setups.

Form-4 Alert, Fresh Options Plays

Nkarta, Inc. NKTX – Form-4 Alert

We took notice of an interesting new IPO this morning in NKTX. Typically we would be more interested in stocks with a long history of data to look at, but in this case a notable name is buying up shares. Mega-laboratory GlaxoSmithKline purchased a noteworthy $15M chunk of NKTX, and the newly issued stock has been in a freefall looking for support.

In our experience, we see a lot of IPO’s that sell off hard directly after their initial offering just like this one. It’s when they establish a firm bottom that the buying opportunity is at its greatest, so we are definitely going to want to keep a close watch over NKTX for that to occur. There may be a solid gain opportunity on the horizon here that we won’t want to miss.


Virgin Galactic Holdings Inc. SPCE

We highlighted some calls in SPCE last week and met with great success, to the tune of several multi-bag gain opportunites. It has continued to run this week, and so far we’ve seen a 39% move in the stock alone from 19.07-23.53.

We are interested in selecting another range of calls to monitor with SPCE faring so well, so we’re going to place the SPCE $25.50-26.50 Calls on watch for the remainder of the week.


GeoVax Labs, Inc. GOVX

We tagged GOVX in our
extended watchlist on Tuesday, and this stock has made an absolutely eye-popping move.

From its low of .62 on Tuesday, GOVX hit 1.75 yesterday, marking a total two-day upswing of 182% We’ll continue to keep an eye peeled for more activity in this highly volatile play.
